Didn't know these existed on the 914.

Just noticed it when unloading it off the trailer.

It does have a separate button for it on the dash, green background with a heating element logo on it, pulls and pushes.

Anybody familiar with these rear windo defrosters?

Thank you

factory option

Standard in Canada
I think.....

Take my wife.....please.

Yup, optional equipment. 2 out of 4 of my 914's came with the heated rear window.

My '74 has it, the boy's '73 doesn't.

I had a 73 2.0 with one....

Yep got one but no wiring and then people tell me they are useless bugger it?

My '70 1.7 has the rear window heater...never had a situation for it to be useful, even during two years in Green River, WY.

So it could be said this option probably has little or no value if building a car?

Cool factor only and a extra hole filled on the dash .

If it's a summer car only, yes totally useless.

You've already got the factory option info. above - but as a heads-up, you find a ton of this type of info on p914.com ....
